How do Canary Wharf buildings affect the install?
City-centre floors in Canary Wharf often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
A lot of Canary Wharf's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Canary Wharf?
Insulated EI glass costs considerably more than integrity-only E glass, and the duration, frame system and fire-rated door sets account for most of the remaining range. Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why do Canary Wharf businesses choose us?
Compliance designed in
We check the required duration and E or EI class against your fire strategy before ordering, so the wall is right first time rather than reworked.
Free survey in Canary Wharf
We measure the space, check ceilings, floors and services, and talk through how you want the office to work before anything is priced.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Matched door sets
Fire-rated glazed doors are supplied as complete tested door sets with compatible hardware, avoiding the common fault of mixing uncertified components.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Canary Wharf include escape corridors, compartment walls between tenancies and protected reception areas. We provide the manufacturer's test evidence and classification for the installed system, so Building Control, insurers and landlords can verify what is in the wall.
Key specifications
| Classification | E 30 / E 60 (integrity) or EI 30 / EI 60 (integrity and insulation) |
|---|---|
| Glass | Fire-resistant toughened or laminated (E); multi-layer intumescent insulating glass (EI) |
| Doors | Matching fire-rated glazed door sets with tested hinges, closers, locks and smoke seals |
How do surveys work in Canary Wharf?
Our office is in Great Barr, Birmingham — roughly 109 miles from Canary Wharf as the crow flies — and survey and installation teams are arranged regionally, so distance does not change the price structure.
In England, partition works that affect fire safety or means of escape fall under the Building Regulations, so we flag anything that may need Building Control at survey stage.

Installation is completed, doors and seals are adjusted, the area is cleaned and the job is signed off with you.
Questions about fire rated glass partitions in Canary Wharf
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Canary Wharf?
Our guide price for fire rated glass partitions is £850–£1,400 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Canary Wharf project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Will our Canary Wharf landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Canary Wharf office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
What is the difference between E and EI fire rated glass?
E rated glass provides integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing through for the stated time but transmits heat. EI rated glass also provides insulation, limiting the temperature on the protected side, so people can pass close to it safely. EI is required in many escape routes and costs considerably more.
How long does a fire rated glass partition last in a fire?
Most office systems are classified for 30 or 60 minutes, written as E 30, EI 30, E 60 or EI 60. The figure is the time the tested system kept its integrity, and insulation where stated, in a standard furnace test to BS EN 1364-1. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy.
